Olas Shabbos. Commentary on the Torah by Rabbi Yoel Ibn Shuaib. First Edition. Venice 1577 - Only edition. Venice, 1577.  The sefer's significance and scarcity were documented as far back as 150 years ago: ”Olas Shabbos is a very precious and lofty work with wonderful drushim more valuable than gold... It was printed in Venice in 1577, and now it is very rare to find.” (Shem HaGedolim HaChadash by Rabbi Aharon Walden, Warsaw 1865, Letter Ayin entry 19) Rabbi Yoel was a gifted orator and wrote this work before the expulsion. Some consider the author to be the last darshan of the Spanish sages before the expulsion.
